I am insanely good at this. Anyone who knows me can tell you that if you're looking at my phone's screen, you see zero air bubbles and the edges are aligned near perfect. That being said, I've never been able to hit that perfect application of a screen protector. The area around the home button is always just a little off center. Nearly undetectable to the human eye, but I know I fucked up every time I hit that button. Maybe one day I'll get it 100% centered.

I'm awful at this. If I lived in Houston I'd have you do it for me.

How many screen protectors do you go thru in a year?

My current phone doesn't even have one.

My 4th of the year failed me last week, prompting an emergency visit to the Apple store.
My phone was in my jeans pocket as I was changing from work clothes to riding clothes. When I put my right leg down after putting on my shorts, I stepped on the pocket side of the jeans on the floor and heard a baaaad crunch. I knew as I peeled the spiderwebbed protector off that the tempered glass never stood a chance. In hindsight, it wasn't the protector that failed. It was me.

Nothing a couple of Visa gift cards I was saving for bicycle components and an hour & a half on my day off couldn't fix, friend.

I'm pretty good at applying them as well, though there is always that portion near the edge that seems to give me problems

I'd love to have a screen-on face off with you one day.
